Well I told you in my last post how we came to know this sweet homeschool family with 4 young boys. It wasn't too much longer until two other events took place that continued us down the course of considering homeschooling as an option.
The first instance came through close friends who had a elementary student. This family became aware that a counselor was coming into the classroom and teaching their child things that they did not agree with, and when the mother came to sit in on the class, she realized that she was really not welcome there. They eventually were able to have their child excused from those sessions.
The second instance was when a child of some friends, came home and informed her parents, that she her teacher told her, that she did not have to complete tasks the parents ask her to do. Both of these families are upstanding families that I know personally. They posed no threat to their children.
Well these instances further increased our desire to do something different, when it came to schooling our children.
Even though this all sounded like a neat idea...I had no clue how to go about this.
Next...how we got started...becoming one of the leaders of our local homeschool group (as a newbie)...starting a meal co-op with friends...and morning sickness.
